ice mold

Freezer tray shape

An ice mold is a container used to freeze water or other liquids into specific shapes.

Standard ice cube trays are the most common type, but ice molds come in countless novelty forms—spheres, skulls, stars, letters.

Larger molds create ice for punch bowls or sculptural centerpieces: She used a bundt pan as an ice mold for the party.
